commit 74eab89b26ac433ad857292f4707b43c1a8f0209 upstream.
If the imx driver cannot support RS485 it nullifies the ports
rs485_supported structure. But it still calls uart_get_rs485_mode() which
may set the RS485_ENABLED flag nevertheless.
This may lead to an attempt to configure RS485 even if it is not supported
when the flag is evaluated in uart_configure_port() at port startup.
Avoid this by bailing out of uart_get_rs485_mode() if the RS485_ENABLED
flag is not supported by the caller.
With this fix a check for RTS availability is now obsolete in the imx
driver, since it can not evaluate to true any more. So remove this check.
Furthermore the explicit nullifcation of rs485_supported is not needed,
since the memory has already been set to zeros at allocation. So remove
this, too.
